How to split this information? (code included)

[erbio]

I'm working with GEO IP, I can display the information, please see the below code and notes.

<?PHP

$ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$license_key = "PRIVATE";

$query = "http://maxmind.com:8010/f?l=" . $license_key . "&i=" . $ipaddress;
$url = parse_url($query);
$host = $url["host"];
$path = $url["path"] . "?" . $url["query"];
$timeout = 1;
$fp = fsockopen ($host, 8010, $errno, $errstr, $timeout)
	or die('Can not open connection to server.');
if ($fp) {
  fputs ($fp, "GET $path HTTP/1.0\nHost: " . $host . "\n\n");
  while (!feof($fp)) {
    $buf .= fgets($fp, 128);
  }
  $lines = split("\n", $buf);
  $data = $lines[count($lines)-1];
  fclose($fp);
} else {
  //echo "uh oh";
}
echo $data;
?>

The code outputs this information for me:

US,NY,Ithaca,,42.427799,-76.498199,555,607,"Road Runner","Road Runner"


I would ONLY like to display the "607", US, NY, Ithaca in different places on my page.

So If someone could help me split this information that would be great.

On my page I want to display the information as:

Ithaca, NY - US

and 607 (area code) will be displayed in a completely different location so I would like to be able to put this code anywhere on my site to display the area code:

<?PHP echo $areacode; ?>

In fact I'd like to do that with all information.

<?PHP echo $city; ?>

<?PHP echo $country; ?>

thank you!!

There's an explode() function in PHP. Look it up.

Okay so I'm this far:
I have very little knowledge of PHP and dont know how i would turn the data into separate variables.

<?PHP

$ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$license_key = "PRIVATE";

$query = "http://maxmind.com:8010/f?l=" . $license_key . "&i=" . $ipaddress;
$url = parse_url($query);
$host = $url["host"];
$path = $url["path"] . "?" . $url["query"];
$timeout = 1;
$fp = fsockopen ($host, 8010, $errno, $errstr, $timeout)
	or die('Can not open connection to server.');
if ($fp) {
  fputs ($fp, "GET $path HTTP/1.0\nHost: " . $host . "\n\n");
  while (!feof($fp)) {
    $buf .= fgets($fp, 128);
  }
  $lines = split("\n", $buf);
  $data = $lines[count($lines)-1];
  fclose($fp);
} else {
  //echo "uh oh";
}
echo $data;

?>


<?PHP

$str = $data;

// positive limit
print_r(explode(',', $str, 2));

// negative limit (since PHP 5.1)
print_r(explode(',', $str, -1));
?>

Array indexing.

[kows]

why are you using limits? didn't you read the documentation for the function?

<?php
  $data = 'US,NY,Ithaca,,42.427799,-76.498199,555,607,"Road Runner","Road Runner"';
  list($country, $state, $city, $junk[], $junk[], $junk[], $junk[], $areacode) = explode(",", $data);
?>
you live in <?php echo "{$city}, {$state}, {$country}"; ?>. your area code is <?php echo $areacode; ?>.
<?php print_r($junk); ?>

  list($country, $state, $city, $junk[], $junk[], $junk[], $junk[], $areacode) = explode(",", $data);
?>
you live in <?php echo "{$city}, {$state}, {$country}"; ?>. your area code is <?php echo $areacode; ?>.
<?php print_r($junk); ?>

OK AWESOME.

Just one more thing -

When i use your code it shows:

US,NY,Ithaca,,42.427799,-76.498199,555,607,"Road Runner","Road Runner" you live in Ithaca, NY, US. your area code is 607.


I would like it to only display:
you live in Ithaca, NY, US. your area code is 607.



Then I'm done.

uhh... then don't echo out $data? nothing in my code even echoes that out in the first place.

Ohhh sorry.


Forgive me for not knowing PHP. If i knew everything about php I wouldn't be posting on these forums.


Thanks either way.

Nobody knows everything about PHP. However, not noticing that you print a variable is ... far from knowing everything.

Ohhh sorry.

echo "hello world" is right after you learn about
